Hello everybody 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel and today it's how to install a Bosch dishwasher,
now maybe you're moving into a new kitchen or maybe you've moved properties or maybe you've
just bought a brand new one, I'll take you through all the steps to help you install it, right
let's get cracking. This is the space where the dishwasher is going to go, with your dishwasher
you should have a mains cold water feed pipe and a drainage hose and the electrical plug first of all
get the dishwasher close to where it's going to be but don't push it all the way in yet because you
need to connect up the hoses and the electrical supply, first of all get the plug through to
where it's going to be plugged in but don't plug it in till the end, then take your drainage hose
and feed that through where it needs to go this one is actually going to be connected
under a sink, you may have a slightly different setup and I'll show you that a bit later on
if you're just moving your dishwasher the mains cold water feed hose should already be connected
to the dishwasher if it's not you just connect it to the back of the dishwasher and tighten this up
clockwise don't over tighten it just do it with your hands because you don't want to damage
any threads, and the reason we don't push the dishwasher all the way back is because we want to
test it and make sure there's no leaks and there's no problems, take your mains cold water feed hose
and connect that up to your pipe work you should have existing pipework for
your dishwasher or washing machine this will be a mains cold water feed with a blue tap on it
again just do this up hand tight do not over tighten it we can now turn on the mains cold
water and you do that by turning this tap 90 degrees this is 90 degrees away from us
on this particular tap and you should hear the mains cold water feed into that pipe,
check for any leaks at both ends because that pipe is now under mains cold water pressure
this one's looking great now let's connect up the drainage hose this one's going under the
sink you may have a slightly different system and I'll show you that one after this system,
so what you need to do is get this rubber drainage hose onto this connection if it's a good tight fit
you don't normally need a clip but I'm just going to put a clip on here anyway, so I'm
going to put that over the drainage pipe work first so take your drainage hose which has got
a nice soft rubber end on it and feed that onto that pipe work twisting it backwards and forwards
this one's a pretty good tight fit but I'm still going to put the metal clip on it just to hold it
in place I'm going to take a pair of pliers and you squeeze this clip and that makes it wider
and then just slide it over the rubber hose
and then that just makes it nice and tight on the drainage connection
Whilst I'm doing that there's a link above now about what
to do if your dishwasher is not draining water
As I mentioned earlier you may have a slightly different system you may have
one of these drainage U-bend pipe works not under the sink if you've got one of these you
can literally just put your drainage hose down inside this pipe work you'll normally have a
clip that it goes in just to keep it in place if you've got one of those just clip it into place
but we're back in the sink unit here now we're ready to plug it in, plug it in and switch it on
What I'm going to do now is test the dishwasher before I slide it back into the unit and this
is so that we can check for any leaks on any of the pipework that's the mains cold water feed
and the drainage hose because there's no point in putting it all the way back and then finding out
you've got a leak somewhere so this is a really good idea before you put it all back into place
and during the dishwashing cycle obviously you've got the mains cold water feeding into the
dishwasher so what you need to do is just check all the connections the mains cold water feed
connection into the back of the dishwasher and also the mains cold water feed at the tap end
and also checking the drainage hose when this gets warm it means the dishwasher is pumping out the
drainage water so you're just checking for any leaks around any of these joints here
if you can go outside where your drainage is and make sure the dishwasher is draining properly
now this dishwasher is completely level already but the feet
can be adjusted but this one is level so I'm just going to slide it into place
The feet can always be adjusted after you've moved it back in but this floor is completely
level so it should be exactly the same when I push it into place, if you live in a property
with a timber floor it may not be completely level so after you push it back into place it
may need levelling up again you can do that with the two front feet be careful when you're pushing
the dishwasher into place make sure you don't catch or kink any of the hoses obviously that's
pretty difficult when you can't see it but don't force it make sure it goes back nice and smooth
I'm just going to take a spirit level to make sure that this is level
And this is absolutely perfect whilst I'm doing that there's a link above now about
what to do if the salt light is flashing on your dishwasher and how to add salt
If you need to adjust the feet you can lift the dishwasher up get someone to help you or you can
lift it up and just wedge something underneath in the middle so then you can adjust the legs on
either side and these just screw in and out and go up and down just gives you a bit of play just
so that you can make the dishwasher level so I'm just going to lift this up and wedge it up
you've got these legs on either side you've actually got some at the back as well
and on most dishwashers these should all be adjustable
and that is the same on washing machines as well
Once you've adjusted it to your desired level you can then pop it back down onto the floor
if you haven't got a spirit level then the best way is just to stand back as far as possible
and just look with your eyes just make sure that it looks nice and level if you can't do
that you can always take a marble or something and just put that on the top of the dishwasher
and see if it rolls in any direction if it stays still then it's nice and level
This one is looking ace if you need to uninstall the dishwasher there's a link above now about
how to do that, right we're ready to use it in anger and actually put some...not laundry Lurgs,
actually put some cutlery and china in there, laundry would be a washing machine!
All right let's put the dishwasher tab in close it up turn it on and press Start.
And with the magic of video editing this is 2 hours later
Everything in the dishwasher nice and clean no leaks anywhere fantastic I hope that all
went great for you and let me know in the comments down below what dishwasher you've just installed,
and after all that hard work is definitely time for a lovely cup of tea!
I hope you found that useful up on this side there's a video on
what to do if your dishwasher is not draining water properly
and over on this side there's a video on how to keep your washing machine hygienically fresh,
